Irys Network Python SDK

This is a simple package which enables you to interact with the Irys Network through bundlers and gateways.

Usage

Build the client

from irys_sdk.Builder import Builder

client = Builder("ethereum").wallet("...").build()
# wallet is the only required argument, but there are others i.e rpc_url("...") to set a custom RPC URL

Funding the node

Nodes work on a deposit based system, to see how much you'd need to upload some data, use client.get_price(<size_in_bytes>)

balance = client.balance() # 100
tx_id = client.fund(10000) # in wei/atomic units
balance = client.balance() # 10100

Withdrawing funds

Not currently supported in this SDK - use the JS CLI/SDK to withdraw funds

Uploading data

res = client.upload(b"hello, world!", tags=[("tag_name", "tag_value")])
print(res) # { 'id': "...", ...}

Retrieving data

Make a GET request in the client of your choice to https://gateway.irys.xyz/<transaction_id>

to see transaction metadata (tags, signature, owner), GET: https://gateway.irys.xyz/tx/<transaction_id>
